Anchoring hazards.
1.
Damage to the winch motor WILL occur if you motor your boat while the anchor is down (dragging the anchor will damage
the winch). Tying to a cleat will extend winch life and prevent wear and possible failure.
2.
Do not pull a load greater than 90 pounds.
3.
If the circuit breaker halts operation of the winch during retrieval or deployment; the winch may have been overloaded, the
supplied circuit breaker will auto-reset after a minute.
Entanglement hazards.
1.
Never place any object or tool in the rope spool while retrieving or deploying the anchor. The tool or object could become
tangled in the rope resulting in serious injury and/or damage to the winch.
2.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing, scarves, or neck ties during the operation of the winch. Loose clothing may become
caught in moving parts resulting in injury or death.
3.
Do not operate the winch under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.

INSTALLING ANCHOR WINCH ON BOAT DECK
The anchor winch can be installed on the fore (front) or the aft (rear) of the boat. It is important that the anchor roller lines
up with the centerline of the rope spool for proper operation. To mount the anchor winch, follow these steps:
1.
Locate anchor roller on deck in desired location. The anchor roller must be located at the edge of the deck and must
extend over the edge to allow the anchor to clear the deck when it is docked in the anchor roller.
2.
Look below the deck and check for any obstructions underneath the desired anchor roller location. Also make sure
there is enough space for the winch to be placed in-line with rope spool centered on the anchor roller.
3.
Remove the 2 Phillips head screws in the rear of the davit assembly to expose the mounting holes.
4.
Using a marker or pencil, mark the anchor roller mounting holes on the deck.
5.
Remove the anchor roller. Drill the holes.
6.
Secure the anchor roller to the deck using three 8mm bolts, nuts and washers.
7.
Place winch on boat deck and align the center of the rope spool with the center of the anchor roller.
8.
Look below the deck and check for any obstructions underneath the desired anchor winch mounting location.
9.
To expose the mounting holes, remove the four Phillips head screws that hold the cover on the winch frame and
disconnect the white connector for the switch.
10.
Mark and drill the holes. There are four 8mm bolt
mounting holes and a hole for the battery lead wires.
